Jesus said to love thy neighbor, to welcome immigrants, and not to judge. And yet majority of republicans are unable to follow even those simple rules.

Easily the most cherry-picked sentence I’ve ever heard. Talk about judgement. Not gonna listen to religious preach from the most immoral, degenerate demographic in modern history.

Jesus sure as fuck hated the actions of those who exploited the poor and working class. Matthew 21:12–13, Mark 11:15–17, Luke 19:45–46, John 2:13–16 all of which basically culminated in the plot to have him crucified. Jesus was a socialist who was executed for his beliefs in challenging the ruling class/religious authority’s power.

Jesus also said to forgive your brother not 7 times but 77 times. He ate with prostitutes, lepers, and tax collectors. When he died on the cross he forgave the criminal next to him who was being justly punished. He gave the wealthy the chance to follow him and, when he was sent to be executed, did not raise a hand against his oppressors. Perhaps most telling, upon his death, he asks forgiveness from God for those persecuting him.

Jesus did not respond to hate with hate. That would have been a corruption of his mission. He responded to hate with love, regardless of how he was scorned or mistreated. The whole point of his ministry was to teach us how to know God and love each other. He explicitly states these two as the most important commandments. Saying Jesus would “hate hate you if you’re republican” is a corruption of his teachings and evidence that you don’t fully understand the core of his ideas.

Furthermore, arguing Jesus was a socialist, communist, capitalist, or whatnot doesn’t make sense. Jesus never explicitly claimed to support any modern political or economic system. Attributing them to him is both anachronistic and forces modern ideas onto an ancient context. Furthermore, as a perfect being, it wouldn’t make sense for Jesus to support flawed human systems as doing so would contradict his nature…

… Jesus was someone who transcended political pettiness and who meant his message for everyone. He illustrates this by refusing to make his ministry about politics, telling people to give Caesar what is his and give God what is God’s. Claiming “Jesus was a socialist” or “Jesus was a capitalist” imposes modern politics on someone whose teachings were clearly meant to transcend them and reduces his message to a political ideology rather than a broad message for all.

Yet loving thy neighbor means loving those we don’t like. In your case, it would mean loving republicans even though you disagree with them. In their case, it would mean loving democrats and immigrants even though they disagree with them. Jesus preached a universal love amongst humans. Picking and choosing who we love or claiming “Jesus would hate these people but love the others” ignores his actual message.

And Democrats are just as bad as republicans, which is why I don’t identify with either party. Both sides endorse Israel’s activities and both sides have caused harm to both American citizens and innocent people overseas. Rather than saying Jesus would hate republicans, I think he would condemn anyone that is encouraging the atrocities happening in our world today. Whatever party you’re in doesn’t really matter if you’re a terrible person.

How is this cherry picked 💀 Jesus literally said the most important thing we can do is love one another directly after loving God. Sounds like you’ve never actually read the bible. And babes you fall into that immoral demographic ❤️ we all do. Since everyone is a sinner. But not every one of us insists we aren’t and then goes out and calls for human rights to be stripped away.

It’s not casting judgement. It’s answering the question this person asked. They said “why do you say that” of the 2 parties one violates more human rights than the other. That’s a fact as of this time in our history. Both are awful and I don’t sit in either camp.

And where have I said I don’t? I have family and friends who stand on the maga side of things and friends and family who fall more liberal. I love and care for them equally. I may not like the decisions they make or the people they support but that doesn’t change my care for them.

i love conservatives how christians love sinners. that is to say i think they're flawed "sinners" and need to be saved from themselves; ideally disenfranchised until we can heal the damage their hatred, lunacy and ignorance have caused; and reeducated

Alright I got nothing to say to the rest because I don't want to. But if you think crucifying a person over what amounts to probably just stealing some food/valuables is in any way "just" then I think you shouId look up the definition of just again.

If you’re talking about the other guys crucified, you’re aware that they only crucified people guilty of pretty bad crimes right?

Okay one Google search on crucifixation proved you wrong. They did do that for serious crime but they aIso apperently did it for non-citizens with more pettier crimes or literal robbers. Even if they did your aware of the stance of being against...

Death Penalty for any and all crimes right. In fact many countries outlawed the practice of it for any and all crimes. Also in the text it says he's just a thief you mention him just being a thief? So Iike he was probably just a non-citizen thief.
